Big news! 🎉 We're thrilled to announce that we've raised a $23.5m Series A led by @Redpoint with @balderton and @PointNineCap. We're also now officially GA! Read more in @TechCrunch here: techcrunch.com/2023/03/02/at…

Got this text “It was a tough year dealing with the fail, you were one of the few that checked in on me, it made a difference, you’re a good egg.” My response “It was always about people for me. Failure is a bridge to success.” Lesson: Always be there for people you care about.

Really excited to share that @attio has raised $52m in Series B funding, led by GV with participation from @Redpoint, @Balderton, @PointNineCap, and @01Advisors. Over the past two years, we’ve seen rapid growth. 5,000 customers now run their GTM on Attio, including @lovable, @meetgranola, @modal, @replicate, @railway, and @public. We’re also on track to 4x ARR this year. CRM is entering its most exciting era. AI is reinventing the interface, killing manual work, and finally capturing customer context in full. But that’s only half the story. CRM isn’t just another tool. It should be the backbone of your GTM stack. If you want to scale, you need a CRM you can actually build on. This is our vision for Attio. We’re building a true AI-native CRM platform that can run code, integrate anywhere, and give every team the freedom to build their own applications, functionality, and GTM systems. Fully programmable, endlessly extensible and built for scale. If you can imagine it, you can build it. Grateful to my co-founder @byteofbits, and to the support of our investors: @mcbmichael (joining our board), @alexbard, @wanderingvc, @ric0seq, and @dickc. And most importantly, to our team, who’ve made all of this possible. The journey is just beginning. Back to building.

Incredibly excited about the vision and product for the future of CRM at @attio - check out their announcement today to get a glimpse into what’s coming. @Redpoint @patrickachase @nicolasosharp
We just put 50+ GTM leaders on Nasdaq's board in Times Square. Why? We're about to witness a seismic shift in CRM – one that even surpasses the cloud revolution of 1999. AI is here, and it's going to change everything. The category has been on the cusp of revolution for years. At Attio, we've been preparing for this paradigm shift since our founding, with a clear vision for the next generation of CRM. But great ideas don't exist in a vacuum. CRM is one of the most widely used tools in business, and its future in the AI era will be shaped by many voices. That's why we reached out to 50+ GTM leaders – the people who are actively building companies and using these tools every day. We wanted to understand their thoughts on the future of CRM in the AI era, and start a conversation. So we took it to Times Square, where their perspectives will be shared all week. We've compiled their insights, along with our own vision, into a manifesto for the future of CRM. It's a glimpse into what's possible when AI meets customer relationships. It's what we're building at Attio. Read the manifesto 👉 attio.xyz/next-gen

Fantastic interview with @adamguild — an exceptional CEO I’ve had the privilege of working with for over 5 years — and @jaltma, one of the best investors that I am so lucky to partner with on @owner Cc @Redpoint
Adam Guild is the CEO of Owner, a business he started when he was only 17. It now has tens of millions in revenue, hundreds of employees, and thousands of customers. I’ve had the pleasure of working on his board for a few years now, and he is one of the most impressive people I’ve ever gotten to know. Working with him was a big part of what made me realize I want to do venture for the rest of my career. He tracks his nutrition, exercise, time, and sleep to an extreme degree so he can show up to work every day as strong as possible. He goes to extreme lengths to recruit the best talent. He is equal parts hungry to learn from everyone around him, but courageous in making his own unconventional decisions. I think he’s one of the most under-known founders right now, but I think that will soon change. Hope you enjoy watching this.

So excited for @adamguild and the entire team at @owner. Amazing momentum in helping restaurants build their business. 🚀 @Redpoint
Woke up this morning and saw that Forbes put @Owner on the Next Billion-Dollar Startups list. It hit me hard. 🥹 I teared up, because this was a dream come true. I started Owner as a 17-year-old high school dropout. I didn’t know anyone in tech. But I watched the tech world closely. For 7 years, I’ve admired the companies on the Next Billion-Dollar Startups list. During all of the brutally hard times when we’d almost run out of money, or things would be going horribly wrong… I’d see this list and think: “One day.” That day has come. But it’s not because of me. It’s because of our amazing team. We’d be nothing without our great people. They deserve far more credit for where we are today. Owner has a really special team. I feel blessed to get to build with them every day. This is an exciting recognition, but it changes nothing. We’re staying hungry. We don’t take anything for granted. We work like the underdogs we are. We have to. Thousands of mom-and-pop business owners are counting on us. If you’re passionate about helping mom-and-pop business owners survive and succeed, we're hiring across 12 roles now. Check out our careers page.
